Project professionals can show you how to plan your training throughout the implementation process so
that the right amount of information is delivered to key people when needed the most. You can attend
courses at any one of our many Educational Center by pre-booking your seat, or you can arrange for our
trainers to teach at your facility. In addition, we can tailor standard courses or develop custom courses to

From on–site support to central off-site support, our team of experienced professionals provides the help

Representative, Account Manager, and hSenid’s large staff of consultants and support specialists with
expertise in your business area, managing the environment as per the mutually agreed support
agreement.

Special Note

Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Application Data.

Never use any application of server browsers to alter data in the database, unless instructed by us.

If Application data is modified, you would possibly destroy the integrity of your data and lose the ability
to audit changes to your data. Since PeoplesHR application tables are interrelated, any change you make
using an application form can update multiple tables at once. But when you modify data using anything
other than an application form, you might change a row in one table without making corresponding
changes in the related tables. If your tables will get desynchronized with each other, you would possibly
retrieve erroneous information and unpredictable results throughout the application.

Overview

The initial web based PeoplesHR Mobile App created by hSenid, bridged the gap between the employees
and information. It also connected employees more effectively with each other. However, PeoplesHR
Mobile App further allows HR professionals to quickly and easily communicate with every network
connected employee through their mobile devices. Mobile Application is a result of overcoming a major
hurdle existed in traditional HRM practices. The application transformed the old-fashioned, paper, mail
and phone-based systems into an information rich mobile solution. Thus, further establishing the concept
upon which the PeoplesHR system was built on, “Mobility in Mind”.

hSenid Business Solutions has also understood and adapted to the present-day technology trend, in order
to move from the traditional web-based desktop applications to the mobile friendly and dynamic
solutions.

Including the enhanced functional power and financial benefits, there are many advantages provided by
PeoplesHR Mobile App, for both businesses and employees.
